When her maternal grandparents are mentioned, Wen Yi forgets everything.
His emotions immediately tightened. "What news?"
"Your maternal grandparents were indeed picked up that afternoon, but the car was involved in an accident en route, and all three people inside, including the driver, died in the hospital despite attempts to save them..."
Bang!
Before Xiao Kongkong could finish speaking, Wen Yi's phone was smashed to the ground.
She was completely stunned.
The commotion inside reached the outside. Gu Huaixu pushed open the door and entered. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Yi standing there unharmed, but then he noticed that Wen Yi's mood was off.
"You're awake?" Gu Huaixu asked tentatively.
Wen Yi's mind went completely blank; she couldn't hear anything around her, her mind was filled only with Xiao Kongkong's words—
All three people inside, including the driver, died in the hospital despite attempts to save them…
die.
Resuscitation efforts failed.
Grandparents.
Wen shook her head, large tears falling one by one, but she seemed oblivious. She quickly squatted down and picked up her phone again.
Because her hands were shaking so badly, Wen tried to pick up the phone several times but failed. The more she tried, the more flustered she became, and the more chaotic her movements became.
Gu Huaixu frowned, stepped forward, squatted down next to Wen Yi, picked up Wen Yi's phone, and simply put the receiver to Wen Yi's ear.
"Second Madam, are you listening to me?" Xiao Kongkong called for a long time, intending to call twice more before hanging up and calling back later.
"I...I'm listening." Wen Yi clenched her fists, forcibly suppressing her emotions. "Go on, tell me everything from beginning to end, clearly and plainly. I don't want to miss any details."
“The car accident happened unexpectedly. Someone called the police immediately and they were taken to the hospital. But the two elderly people were too old and had already lost their heartbeats when they were rescued. Even the most experienced chief physicians at the hospital could not save them. As for the driver, he was unable to be saved because the glass pierced his heart.”
"And then?" Wen Yi continued to ask, his fists clenched tightly.
"However, the Wen family clearly didn't want this matter to be exposed, so they quickly cleaned up the mess with the other party after the car accident and destroyed the car."
"What about me, and my maternal grandparents?"
“It’s still in the hospital morgue.” Xiao Kongkong’s voice was somewhat helpless. “The hospital has urged the Wen family many times, but for some reason, they always keep making excuses, saying to leave it for a while longer, and to deal with it after they’ve calmed down.”
"So you mean..." Wen Yi couldn't finish her sentence, but she forcibly suppressed all her emotions and her breakdown.
Her remaining rationality told her that she had to understand her emotions and then figure out how to deal with them.
My maternal grandparents died in a car accident, and their remains remain unclaimed.
The deceased must be respected; she must deal with this matter first, absolutely!
Understand it clearly, then it's New Year's Eve.
Wen closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing repeatedly, trying to calm herself down to a state where she could communicate effectively.
"So I'm checking again, my grandparents are still in the hospital morgue, and they'll stay there as long as no one claims them?"
“No.” Xiao Kongkong said helplessly, “The hospital is a private hospital. They have announced that bodies that are not claimed within a week will be sent to the crematorium for cremation. The urns will then be placed at the crematorium until someone claims them. If no one claims them, the crematorium has a special place to put them.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Yi burst out laughing. "So you mean that my grandparents, whose daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter are still alive and well, and who know that they are currently unclaimed in the hospital morgue, are still being ignored and left to die alone at the crematorium, right?"
Wen was smiling as she confirmed this information.
Because I found it ridiculous.
This is really ridiculous.
Although Xiao Kongkong didn't want to admit it, it was indeed as Wen Yi said, and she had to give Wen Yi a definite answer.
“That’s right,” Xiao Kongkong said. “It will be sent to the crematorium at midnight tonight.”
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Yi calmly said this.
She closed her eyes, forcing back tears, and when she opened them again, she smiled at Gu Huaixu and said, "Please hang up the phone for me, Second Master Gu."
Gu Huaixu stared at Wen Yi and hung up the phone as Wen Yi instructed.
"Thank you," Wen said, nodding. "I'm going to the restroom."
Wen Yi tried to stand up, but her legs were numb. When she stood up for the first time, her whole body went limp. If Gu Huaixu hadn't been there to support her, Wen Yi would have bumped her head on the corner of the bed.
"Be careful," Gu Huaixu warned.
Wen Yi said politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Wen nodded, braced herself against the bed to regain her balance, and after confirming that she could walk, she headed to the bathroom.
As soon as the door closed, Wen Yi went limp.
She leaned against the door, covering her face with her hands, her heart pounding as if it couldn't take the strain. She felt lost and helpless, but Wen Yi couldn't cry.
Not a single tear.
She had been covering her face with her hands, then stared blankly at her dry palms. Wen smiled; she had indeed done it.
He really is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Wen Yi couldn't even cry when her maternal grandparents died and their bodies were left unclaimed in the morgue.
Everyone else had cried until they fainted, cried until the sky darkened.
But what about her?
A complete blank, devoid of any emotion, both mentally and otherwise, is a void, devoid of any emotional expression.
Wen Yi found it laughable, and also felt that he was cold-blooded and terrifying.
This is what she looked like when Gu Huaixu died.
She was like that when her maternal grandparents died.
So, because she was such a cold-blooded and ruthless person, even God couldn't stand it anymore. Starting with Gu Huaixu, one person after another, he stripped away the people who were good to Wen Yi. This was punishment.
This is God's punishment for a heartless and ungrateful person like Wen Yi!
She doesn't deserve to have someone kind and gentle to her.
She doesn't deserve it!
Not worthy at all!
Wen Yi closed her eyes, but a smile played on her lips. She was mocking herself, and as she laughed, her voice grew louder and louder until it became a maniacal laugh, a mad laugh.
Gu Huaixu stood at the bathroom door. He had assumed that Wen Yi had gone to the bathroom alone to have a good cry and vent her emotions before dealing with things.
The incessant laughter coming from the restroom made Gu Huaixu unable to understand what kind of emotion Wen Yi was experiencing at that moment.
He just felt that such laughter was very desolate.
The laughter never stopped.
The laughter grew louder and louder.
But suddenly at a certain moment, the laughter stopped, followed by a deathly silence.
Until the bathroom door opened.
Wen Yiji walked out calmly.
Even Gu Huaixu could see with his naked eye that Wen Yi had adjusted his appearance before walking out; his face was clean and his clothes were neat.
It's just that he doesn't have much of an expression.
His eyes were lifeless, devoid of any light.
She looked up and walked straight toward Gu Huaixu...
